Task 1
Failure of the workers in delivering appropriate interventions for the disease Mary-Jane has been diagnosed with might be attributed to the fact that greater prevalence of mental disorders like anxiety and depression often make it difficult for reduced recognition of other illnesses. Some of the beliefs that might impede appropriate treatment of Mary-Jane in the non-trauma service centre are associated with prevalent myths on mental illness such as, air pollution, bad parenting, poor diet, curse of God, past sins or evil eyes (Ighodaro et al., 2015). Misconceptions and myths about mental disease might contribute to the stereotype and stigma, which will prevent the workers from responding to the presenting complaints of the client. Thus, they will not be able to completely integrate their knowledge related to trauma into the procedures or practices that are intended to be followed. These attitudes and beliefs result in a stigma that compromises social standing of the affected person and is generally perceives mental illness as a mark of discredit and/or shame. Moreover, the workers the non-trauma sensitive service might also display an intolerant attitude towards the client, thereby not forming a close rapport with her.
I would raise the issue of the experiences that were faced by the client by fostering trustworthiness and transparency in the treatment approach. Establishing a good rapport with the client will facilitate the development of a radical transparency, which in turn would allow Mary-Jane to disclose her fears and vulnerabilities, in addition to the problematic experiences that she had encountered in her childhood (Glueck, 2013). Herman (2015) stated that acknowledgment of the traumatic life experiences that people have often been subjected to is shrouded in denial and secrecy. The most compelling reason that governs the understanding of trauma is the link between its prevalence and post-traumatic disorders. Raising the issue of the traumatic experiences is essential since traumatic events have been found responsible for direct threats of death or psychological injury. There is mounting evidence for the fact that people diagnosed with BPD have an increased likelihood of reporting history of some kind of child abuse and distressing experiences (Bornovalova et al., 2013). Thus, I would initiate the conversation by expressing empathy towards the client, which in turn would help in the development of a good carer-servicer user relationship (Figley, 2013). Psychiatric manifestations that are realted to an exposure to trauma create an adverse impact on the cognition, normative functioning, sensation experiences and social wellbeing. Thus, I would take efforts communicate well in order to establish trust and discuss about the experiences that might have resulted in the mental illness.
Task 2
Thus, I would initially define the trauma-care related research question that I intend to investigate, followed by collection of relevant information from scholarly sources and medical guidelines. I will then organise the data findings into definite patterns or themes to draw a relevant conclusion.
